A little bit about me

I am a mature and experienced caregiver. I have worked with a wide array of populations and have a tremendous amount of patience and energy. I have been a nanny to three families, most recently for a little girl who I met when she was 4 months old. She has moved on to preschool hence my job search. I have worked in an infant/toddler room in a Montessori school. I understand the importance of tummy time for infants and always tailor awake time to a child’s needs on any given day, all the while striving to provide consistency so that the child knows the world is a safe and predictable place. I am a big fan of fresh air and exercise. I love introducing little ones to the natural world, particularly birds and weather. I always include a few trips to the library through any given week (reading to kids is so important) and never argue with a dance party. I marvel at the development of a child and truly love helping a family to thrive.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been a nanny to five children, most recently for a child who is now starting preschool. Previous to this position I cared for a toddler. I worked in the infant/toddler classroom at a Montessori based preschool. I am certified in both infant first aid and CPR and have been certified in a number of areas, including nutrition, safe sleep practices and medication administration through the Mass Department of Early Education and Care. I am happy to spend lots of time outdoors helping a little one develop physically and I love to read and enjoy music and dancing with my little friends.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Books and music and crafts and science and outdoor play. Whatever the age I really love watching development progress and being a part of the changing skills of a child is endlessly fascinating to me.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping to nurture and encourage a growing family. Ensuring that the child knows that the world is a safe and loving place.
